Printing in iPhoto 08 with Epson R220

I'm a recent Mac convert and am trying to print using my reliable Epson R 220 printer. The colors aren't accurate and I realize I'm missing some colors in the cartridge. On my former PC I could check the printer utility and run a test to find out which colors are low in the cartridge. I can't seem to get this needed information from my Mac printer utility.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you installed the software that came with your printer, check in your Applications folder for the Epson Printer Utility. It gives you the Option to Check the Printer Ink Levels, align the printheads etc. If you don't have the software you can downloaded from the Epson website, the Driver & Support section.

Alignment problems printing direct to DVD with Epson R220

I know this question isn't specifically related to iDVD but I wondered if someone could help please?
I recently bought an Epson R220 printer to print direct to DVDs created with iDVD as I know labels stuck onto DVDs are best avoided.
However, using both the bundled Epson Print CD software and 'disclabel', I find the print is about 1cm off centre. I'm really surprised by this, as I thought these machines would just work out of the box - detecting through the software where the centre of the DVD is? I've tried everything to remedy this (including the position adjustment within Print CD which allows up to 5mm fine-tuning). The problem is I need more than fine tuning - the print is way off!
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has an R200 or R220 and might have had a similar problem as I've spoken to Windows users with the same printer, who report no such hassle.
Many thanks,

Thanks Hardy - really appreciate the links to the Epson site. I've tried using the manual settings as you suggest, and I've certainly witnessed a vast improvement. Basically, it seems that if I alter the position adjustment slightly and then opt for a manual print, the disc is centred no problem. It isn't quite up to the edge of the disc - there's about a 2mm gap, using one of the templates from the Print CD app. Have you noticed this also - or does the image print right up tight against the edge of the disc?
If I go back and opt to just 'Print' from the first menu that appears after selecting File>Print, (i.e. not using Manual to print) the image is consistently about 15mm off centre - I've tried this on a dozen tests. However, using 'Manual Print' this isn't the case. I wonder if there is a glitch here in the latest edition of EPSON Print CD (V1.4), in that you seem unable to specify 'Page Set Up'?
I've also gone back to the excellent disclabel application. Here I find that if I change the 90% default under page set up, to 100%, the disc is also aligned correctly.
Thanks very much Hardy for taking the time to work through this one with me - much appreciated.

Can no longer print selected iPhoto photo with HP printer

iPhoto 09. Cannot print selected iPhoto photo with HP printer. I select the photo from iPhoto Library, go to File>print. The screen for Print comes up with another one on top of it that is blank but with text "Print...Processing 1..OK". Clicking OK prints from that screen "Print, Processing page 1" (on correct 3x6 photo paper in black!).
I have run Apple Software Update. Run Permissions with problems (one: "Permissions differ on Library/Printers/h...". Have reinstalled iPhoto which has left one icon on Dock and 3 on desktop: iPhoto 07-27-19.app; iPhoto.app; iPhoto Library that I don't know what to do with with them, so just use the one on the dock which opens iPhoto Library.
Believe I read that after reinstalling iPhoto, a plug-in (possibly third party plug-in for HP?) must be installed. I have updated my HP printer to latest driver.
Would you advise how I can print photos in my iPhoto Library again, and also get those iPhoto icons off my desktop which only confuse me. Thank you for your prompt attention.
Out-of-patience Great Gramma

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Problems printing from photoshop CS4 with epson R2880

I just purchased an epson stylus photo R2880, I thought it was broken due to the fact that I could
not make prints from photoshopCS4.... it goes through all the motions and when its time to print, the soft ware just stops and nothing happens, no warning window, nothing, just no print, I have been three days with epson support by telephone and we have gone through every possible scenario. I have repaired permissions, I have repaired the disks, I have reinstalled all drivers and I can print
from iphoto, from epson software, Lightroom and from preview but not from photoshop, I am at my wits end...I have my agent in Italy asking for three new portfolios and I cannot deliver. please help
Browser: Safari
Operating System: Macintosh
Printer model / driver version: epson stylus photo R2880

In conjunction with Jeff's suggestion, I suggest that you remove all of Epson's preferences for your preference folder especially if you are experience some other issues with other software. And especially if you have 10.6.1 installed.

Printing in 2.0 with epson r380

I have an epson r380 that I am trying to get to print accurately in 2.0. I am having the same problem I had in 1.5. Colors are not rendered (purple tinge to all photos). Screen color is accurate. When printing in CS3 photoshop there isn't a problem. Printing in iphoto isn't a problem. Just Aperture. Anyone know settings that might help. I have updated to most recent drivers and tested all the different colorsnyc settings for the r380.
Is this a common problem with most people? Do some other printers actually work? If I need to switch printers, let me know.
Thanks,
Joe

Needed to delete all old drivers and reinstall new drivers for 10.5. Had installed new drivers previously but old drivers were still present. Now working wonderfully with Aperture 2.0.

IPhoto compatibilty with Epson 3000z camera

I have an Epson 3000z digital camera. I am using an older verson of IPhoto, I believe 2. IPhoto doesn't recognize my camera. I went to Epson's website and they don't have any drivers for it. I was wondering if the newer versions of IPhoto recognize the Epson 3000z or do I need to get a new camera. Any help is appreciated. I will be upgrading to a new Powerbook which should come with a newer version of IPhoto. Also will the newer versions of IPhoto recognize my Rokr Itunes phone for pictures? I would like to upload pictures into IPhoto, but it doesn't work. Is there any other software that would allow me to upload my camera phone pictures to my computer?

Thanks

Printing Problems in CS4 with EPSON R1900

I recent bought a new Epson R1900 and much to my dismay, I can't print from InDesign or Illustrator (haven't yet tried from Photoshop). Basically what happens is that the printer ignores any settings I configure, and prints with the "Default" settings. So not only can I not control the quality or media type, but by default it uses up the Glossy Optimiser, by assuming I want to print on glossy stock.
My workaround in the meantime is to create everything as a PDF and print from Acrobat. For some reason, Acrobat can talk to the printer.
Has anyone else found these problems? Is there any solution to be had?

Ive gone crazy trying to get ID CS3 to print on my HP Laserjet P1006. Various Adobe techs have spent hours trying to find a fix. They really have been very nice and all tried
to be helpful. And - THANK GOD - most of them spoke English. Im hard of hearing and
unfortunately speak very little Indian. (Someone told me that all ID techs speak english.)
It will print PDF. And CS3 Illustrator and Photoshop will print.
One tech suggested that I download CS4 for the 30 day trial to see if it will print. But, after
reading your problem, I will skip even trying.
For quite a while, I was told that it was an Apple problem and that 10.5.6 was going
to fix it. But it didnt. My printer prints a blank page.
Ive read other CS3 printer complaints. What good is a program that wont print?

HT204135 Photoshop CS5 Printing Problem on iMac with Epson 3880 printer

All of a sudden I can't print from Photoshop CS5 on my iMac with OSX Mountain Lion installed. I am able to print from Illustrator, however. Have tried to update the Epson 3880 driver. After clicking on "Print", it doesn't register with the computer, and from then on, the "Print" option is greyed out.

Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
Hope so

Printing on Preprinted form with EPSON LQ300 & EPSON LQ500 dot matrix print

Dear Expert,
im having requirement to print form on preprinted page whose size is 6*9 inches which is smaller than A4 size paper and using EPSON LQ300 & EPSON LQ500 dot mattrix printer. my question is that
1)do i need to create diff. o/p type for diff printer?
2) also do i need to create page format with 6*9 inches lenghth or what?
if is it so will this thing be created by BASIS person?

When it's continuous paper, the printer is not able to detect "pages", so it must rely on paper dimensions you transmit.
So, you must define new Z device type, Z format type and Z page format with these dimensions.
For this device type, you must assign the Z format type and define "printer initialization" action by indicating paper length (you may copy the actions of an existing continuous format type like INCH11, for the device type you use, and adapt it). For example, we find the following "printer initialization" action for EPESCP/INCH11:
# set page length to 11 inch (=66 lines at 6 LPI)
\e\0x43\0x42

Printing from an ipad with epson sx525wd?

I have an ipad 3 and have tried both installing iprint epson app and looking for whether airprint is supported by the epson sx525wd but no answer can I find - the epson online support pushed a document to me which was immediately nuked by a survey when she went offline and I cannot find it - something I glimpsed about using itunes somehow. I will want to print from pages.
Thanks
Graham

Miaartcart-
No, you can not print from the iPad via Bluetooth.
AirPrint compatible printers are listed at <iOS: AirPrint 101>. The last time I checked, none of those listed were portable.
One option is to use a DC-to-AC inverter in your car, with one of the available AirPrint printers plugged into it. You may be able to connect the iPad's WiFi directly to a printer set up to host an Ad Hoc network. Otherwise you could also power a WiFi router from the inverter.
There may be non-AirPrint portable printers you can use with a printing App such as Print n Share or PrintCentral on the iPad. These Apps can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option. However they have their own text, E-Mail, browser and photo programs. If you can use these programs, a printing App may meet your needs.

Photo printing from Iphoto 09 using epson r200 printer

Mac Mini, Iphoto 09, Epson stylus photo r200 printer.
Hello, I have been trying to get a decent printed photo (6" x 4" high gloss photo paper) using the above. All I seem to get are very poor quality prints. There does not seem to be a way of telling iphoto what medium I am using or the correct resolution I wish to use. Can anyone help !

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
If paper type is available it is in the printer specific options on the second print window - select the photo(s) you want to print, click print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click print - in the resulting window any available printer specific options will be in the pull down line toward the bottom of the window - if they are not click on the gray triangle to the right of the printer name to open the full window -- note that the available printer specific options are controlled by the printer driver - not iPhoto

Borderless Printing Does Not Work With Epson Printer!!!!!!!!

I have never gotten Aperture to print correctly borderless on Epson. I have an RX580 all-in-one. I set aperture up correctly in the print setup, I have tried everything and it always has a white strip on one side. I am getting fed up - any help would be appreciated. I am tired of exporting my images and then opening up in Photoshop to print - what a pain.

I've gotten it to print to my Epson RX700 very reliably. There are several things to be aware of. First, when selecting the printer settings, make sure the paper selection is correct. If you choose matte instead of glossy premium, for example, the print will be off-center. Next, make sure the size of the paper is set correctly in the printer settings, e.g. 4x6 borderless. Once you've finished setting up the printer, in the print dialog, also make sure you have the right paper size set up (why do we need to do this in two places?) and make sure it's configured to print on the whole page, not the whole photo. Finally, there's a slider that controls the border all around the photo. Slide it all the way left until it's at zero. That should get you a nice borderless print.
Oh, one other thing, always double-check the printer settings before making your first print. After shutting down Aperture, the next time it seems to forget my last settings. Subsequent prints should print out properly without changing settings again.
I've never needed to use the calibrate button. If you make sure the paper type and size are set properly in print settings as well as in the print dialog, and borders are at zero, you should be set to go.

Printing from iPhoto only has two paper presets?

When I print from iPhoto to my Epson R1800 I only have access to two paper presets. matte and matte fine? I do not want either of these and I believe it is effecting my print jobs. I tried looking into modifying the presets via this link, but the truth is that when I open the ...Contents/Resources/Presets.xml file I see all the presets are in there, so the issue is somewhere else?
Apple has a dev guide on changing these presets here:

Thanks for any feedback.
